”Simulated real time” I would say. At least it’s not 100 % perfect. But still very cool and helpful!

It's actually as close to real-time as we could get, there is a lot going on there, when a traveler passes through the gate, the boarding pass is scanned and a message is sent via the Departure Control System back to SAS where an application keeps storing the data, When you have that screen on, the app calls for backend to check whether the boarding has started, if it has, it will request every 10 seconds the count between check-in and passed the gate and keep on updating the view. The only simulation done is the slider moving smoothly, what we do there is within those 10 seconds we check the last data received by the client and the new data received by the backend and we move within those 10 seconds the slider, instead of jumping. So data is real-time but it might take a while to get through all data journeys, which might cause delays. There are probably 5-6 systems in between the source and the device. That said, when we did a field test it, it was pretty decent, but there could be multiple factors affecting this, like gate agents pre-boarding some travelers or manually boarding some travelers, also some lags on the events dispatching or any network failure in between.
